I don't even have this car yet. I'll see what I can do!!

 

[AltF8]

BTW, you need to purchase this car in Sim mode and use your garage. As far as I know, this car is not available in the Arcade garages.

 

[Ghostrider]

Ok, thanks for the tip. I need to find where to win this car thou.

 

[AltF8]

Professional League, TVR Tuscan Challenge.

You can buy one though.

 

[Ghostrider]

Don't want to waste my credits, you know..:thumbsup:

 

[AltF8]

LOL

So is this going to be the first of many...I hope. Do we need to submit screenshots? or use the honesty system?

I like the honesty system best. Alot of members can not do the screen shot thing. It's not that important to do that. If someone wants to cheat, then they will have to live with themself!!

 

[AltF8]

Yep, that's how we've always done things at GTSpeed.

We have a few really good drivers that can test times, if need be.

Hi, Right the Griff 500 reads 335hp after oil change, correct ?
Bought it, changed oil, nothing else, raced it for 3/4 hour.
PM you my time, saved the replay too, just incase I need any details from it.

Getting the ball rolling

[Pags68]

Alt, I'm glad you took my suggestion for the first race. Although I still hate driving that car.

 

[AltF8]

LOL

Ummm...this must be the wrong thread, my friend.

 

[Neocodex]

how do u ppl take screen shots?

 

[AltF8]

I use an ATI All-In-Wonder 128 TV/Capture card.

 

[robisme]

Hi, No results for this first race yet ?
cya

 

[AltF8]

Yeah, sorry. Big bunch of problems and bad timing.

My PC died and had to be rebuilt. Therefore, the two people who emailed me times will need to do so again.

Then, I'm away from my regular PC for the first half of the week. So, it's going to be some time until I can get those times figured and posted.

Hang in there.

AltF8....Damn...Sorry, totally forgot about your challenge. I am gonna go home and get a time for you. I'll pm it to you in about 4 hours if that's OK?

Off the subject slightly I posted a thread in Challenges/Races saying it might be a good idea if a MOD hosted an offical GTPlanet Race series over a period of weeks. Would you be interested in doing this, or a you gonna stick with the GTSpeed side of things??

I feel your pain Alt. My motherboard went 3 weeks ago. I ordered a new one, installed it and haven't been able to get on the internet since. Some kind of compatability problem with Tyan motherboards. So I'm now waiting for my second new motherboard in two weeks.

Since my internet life consists of sneaking on at work, I'll have to re-send you my time tomorrow.

if you want the f1 cars so bad do the beginer league and ameture league to get them. if you buy the esperante fully mod,its bloody fast,great turning and exelent brakes,go get one.

 

[jervinator]

Why do some people think HP = speed? I mean, yeah, you need power, but you also need control, stability, and low drag in order to USE that power.

The reason the 'scud is so fast isn't just HP. It also has to do with it weighing nothing and the fact that it's aerodynamically impossible to turn at high speeds; the wind hitting the side dams on thse HUGE wings straightens it out.

 

[AlfaAlfa]

so are any of you pc rebuilders gonna go for a 1.4 ghz with a geforce3 video card or anything fun like that now that you have a convenient excuse?

 

[AltF8]

I wish...

No, it was my Win2K installation at work that bombed.

 

[jervinator]

I TOLD you ya shoulda used Linux
